[scholiast]

How exactly are you messaging me if you're so small?

[spellslots]

[He doesn't have an answer for that he's very confused.]

[scholiast]

I haven't experienced you this high in YEARS

(This is too good, she's writing this down.)

[spellslots]

im vrey high i dont rememmember being this high EVRE

ecept that 1 time i accidtnly ate 4 edibles

the capretis meltgn

[scholiast]

You 'accidentally' ate them after Lup double dog dared you to. I was there.

Actually, is anybody there now? You're not, uh, 'trippin' balls' alone in your house right now are you?

>voice

[spellslots]

[After much fumbling, Taako ends up just calling Lucretia because typing is far too difficult.]

You're such a fucking snitch, god. [There's a kind of dreamy vagueness to his voice, as if he's half paying attention.] Lup's somewhere. Uh, trancing? I think she's trancing.

>voice also

[scholiast]

Yes, that's why I was selected for the mission in the first place. To dob you all in to Capn'.

(This is so strange. Nostalgic, familiar. It's almost like she's back on the Starblaster.)

Gotcha. You having fun at least?

[spellslots]

Fun's a real strong word.

[He's having this experience one way or another, so he's trying to just roll with it.]

I miss him. Davenport. He'd go stir fucking crazy here.

[scholiast]

Same.

(He... probably wouldn't be very happy to see her, if he came. If he knew about her, about all of this. Lucretia swallows that uncomfortable thought.)

There isn't even an ocean for him to explore. Merle would like it though.

[spellslots]

[At any other time, he might have thought about what he was saying, either to make it more purposefully a jab at her or to avoid it, but he doesn't even consider it right now.]

There's an ocean it's just like, not here. [It's not connected to the city, is what he means.] Merle would like this place. A lotta plants to fuck.

[scholiast]

(Yeah, she's really digging the absence of his cutting little jabs, and at the same time is absolutely ready for one to make itself known to her? It's a strange feeling. She's weirdly on edge.)

Thanks for being the one to say it out loud. Also: gross.

Barry needs to be here solely to save me from having to be the voice of reason all the time.

[spellslots]

[Taako giggles at that gross, distracted by it for a moment before he realizes she's said other things.]

We're not that bad. I pay taxes.

[Which is the most responsible and adult thing he can think of.]

[scholiast]

(Aw. Her flip wizard is all grown up!)

You are legally obligated to pay your taxes, Taako.

[spellslots]

I'm also legally obligated to like, not fucking murder people and you won't catch me doing that bullshit.

[Not... murdering? This is a very confusing conversation.]

[scholiast]

(Double negative... it's tricky.)

Uh... huh. Is this a confession??

[spellslots]

I've done a lotta murders. Like eight murders.

[Whether or not that's a lot is probably debatable.]

[scholiast]

Well, got that all on tape. Now you're under arrest, like, eight times.

[spellslots]

Fuck the police but not in the way I was fucking the police. The actual fucking the police where the police can get fucked.

[He's great at this.]

[scholiast]

Gotcha.

It's weird thinking that that only happened a couple months ago, huh.

[spellslots]

Time's fake. [You heard it here first, kids.] What's real fucking weird is that Cisco's fucking him now.

[scholiast]

Wow, he never mentioned that to me!

(It's a joke because the last conversation she had with Cisco was both upsetting and deeply serious and about as far from a casual conversation about who he's currently seeing as one could possibly get.)

You okay about that?

[spellslots]

[Taako can only imagine, except he can't because the ceiling has turned into a voidfish and he's watching it swim around. His response takes a few moments, there's just quiet breathing for a little while.]

I'unno. [Which is about as noncommittal an answer as someone could give, but:] Kinda weird, if I think about it too hard but I like 'em both and I'm glad they're happy or whatever? It's not like shit was ever gonna go anywhere with us.

[Him and Eddie, he means.]

[scholiast]

(that's cool but lucretia has an actual voidfish on her ceiling so like #getonherlevel)

Yeah. I know the whole 'could leave at any moment' thing makes it weird.

I'm glad you're okay with it though.

[spellslots]

Eddie never really got me.

[The fact he even briefly entertained the thought that Taako might stay is proof of that, but there were other things, too.]

And like, Cisco's my dude. [He cares more about Cisco than he does about whatever awkward feelings he has about that relationship.] Have you, uh, have you done that chat with Beverly yet?
